[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In an MBA program, and as you likely know, businesspeople skew conservative. Fine. I’m taking an economics class, and my professor uses every opportunity to denigrate economic controls, government regulations, etc. He’s described Bernie Sanders as sympathetic to assassins and dismissed the Green New Deal as absurd (which it may be), and of AOC he questions the “wisdom and foresight” of a “29-year-old whose previous work experience was bartending.”

I think it’s one thing to foster healthy, fair debate on issues, but he’s so anti-liberal and frankly anti-government [b]it’s becoming difficult to focus on the lessons[/b]. Should I talk to him? Talk to administration? Or just leave it alone? [/quote]

Can you, at the end of the semester, send a letter to the department chair, saying that his emphasis on politics detracted from the subject matter he was supposed to teach? You're taking an economics class, after all, not a political science class. And your comment would apply just as much to a professor who was supposed to be teaching economics but instead spent all of his time talking about how Bernie Sanders's emphasis on economic factors over everything else in 2016 was correct and how AOC should be the next speaker of the House tomorrow.[/quote]
